After large earthquake hit the area near the Puyehue-Cordon Callue volcanic range in Chile, last weekend, an volcanic eruption emerged. Puyehue volcano eruption has caused an ash cloud more which is more than ten kilometers in height and covered the Andes.

A number of earthquakes shook the nearby of Puyehue volcano in Saturday morning and literally waked up the sleeping volcano which hasn’t erupted for a half of a century.

More than 3,500 residents of the area are evacuated due the fear of catastrophe which could be caused by ashfalls. The evacuation has been even done in some cities in Argentine, which are about 100 kilometers away from the volcano. The whole area nn the nearby of the volcano has been covered with the ash and pumice from the volcano. The streets of San Carlos in Argentina were covered with large piles of ash and they had to clean streets by bulldozers as the snow is cleaned, to remove the ash from the streets. San Carlos is 100 kilometers away from the Puyehue volcano.

This complex is constituted of four different volcanoes: The Cordillera Nevada caldera, the Pliocene Mencheca volcano, Cordón Caulle fissure vents and the Puyehue volcano.
